Flat Earth Theory / Globe Earth works

« on: November 14, 2017, 12:00:04 PM »

Regardless of whether the earth is flat or a globe, the globular model works. NOTHING humans do on the assumption that the earth is a globe fails due to this assumption.

For the globular hypothesis to be discarded we'd need a superior model. FE doesn't seem to provide one - FE doesn't even have a map that makes sense of basic observations like travel times.

What is the point of telling us to discard a hypothesis that works beautifully when there's nothing to take its place?

Flat Earth Theory / The Conspiracy - why NASA?

The first satellite was launched by the USSR as was the first manned spaceflight. China has been to the moon and several other nations have space programmes.

So why is NASA blamed for creating and perpetuating the conspiravcy?

Flat Earth Theory / Simpler plane conundrum

I've flown between Melbourne (Aus) and London many times. I've flown between Melbourne and Johannesburg a number of times.

I know that the Johannesburg flight takes considerably less time than the London flight.

But the UN-style FE map shows that the distance to Johannesburg is considerably longer.

Why?
